[ ♑ ] see you again soon

who: grand highblood + summoner
when: late at night
where: somewhere on vatheon (subject to change)
style: doesn't matter.
status: closed

The Grand Highblood is a prideful being, especially when it came down the knowledge and skill of activities that were mostly accesible to highbloods and highbloods only. Lowbloods rarely had the chance to indulge in such frivolous luxuries, and especially not one as low on the hemospectrum as the Summoner. So to be thoroughly beaten in the art of slam poetry by a shitblooded little mutated freak is more than just a blow to his pride -- it's also a step up for the lowblood. That is, it probably would've had more merit had it been their universe, but still the principle stands. It enraged him and he had no choice but the accept defeat. Not that he didn't throw a tantrum first before signing off the network.

Days had passed since then, his anger simmering but still longing for strife, and scheming of new ways to either humiliate or abuse the winged troll. There are only so many ways to bash in someone's skull without outright killing them.

Oh.

Speaking of which.... why hadn't he thought of that before? To kill someone here in Vatheon is as permanent and meaningful as never-drying clay. It would certainly piss off such a tree-hugging motherfucker all for valuing life and shit if he just went up to him and killed him, even if they were both well aware of what would happen next. Not only would Summoner come back, the highblood could also enjoy the feeling of life slipping through his fingers once more. Missed how it clung desperately to keep its body alive, only to fade into dark, leaving the shell hollow and empty.

So his mind made, he set out late at night in search of his "prey", searching out specific spots in Vatheon that he's sure to find the other troll.

Maybe if The Grand Highblood was actually good at anything other than being a complete fucking freak he couldn't beaten him in a heated poetic smack down. But since the Highblood's a violent moron that just wasn't going to happen. Just because your a highblood doesn't mean you can dish out some magnificently constructed ill quatrains. It's okay, he really didn't expect him to beat him anyway. It was just a bit of a drag not being able to take him up on the offer of a fight. He said he'd lay low... He promised Darkleer he would, at least until they looked for someone else to strife with, just for fun of course. But that wasn't looking too good, after all, Vatheon's a pretty peaceful place and not a lot of people are will to shed some blood.

But still, have to keep his word. So he kept away from the crazy clown for a while. Hell, maybe he'd hit him up in a few more days or something. He was itching for a fight too after all. But not yet. He'd just chill, things have been going pretty well after all so it was better to kick back.

And not in any of the places the Highblood looks.

The Summoner's found himself in a nice place up on the island tonight, enjoying the night sky with a rather content expression as he leans back against a tree somewhere in the rather extensive woods. He's not too far from the elevator entrance, just a but north and looking up through a small open patch in the canopy.

Eventually he kind of passes out, he's pretty prone to purrbeast naps after all, and just stays leaned back, hands with fingers locked behind his head.

Always forests, always. Places like this- with all their life- makes him feel a hell of a lot safer, especially when there are indeed wandering predators around. And even more so when those predators sport a club and slather on face makeup like it's this seasons hot trend.

He doesn't hear anything though, especially with that flash step, but once it stops, the Highblood's gotten set his feet down on something and that crack and rustle's enough to sir the Summoner. Unfortunately that club is still coming down with a lot of force, and though he manages to get his head away in time, he feels his whole body jerk down to the ground hard as the club comes down on a horn and quite easily cracks it.

The length doesn't break off but there's one hell of a line there know and though Summoner thought he'd pretty much never feel anything on either of those lengths again, he's proven wrong by how terrible that crack hurts. A good shriek of pain leaves him from it too but he's at least thankful it's not clean broken off.

His head is booming and he just barely manages to scramble to his feet only to crouch forward and press at his forehead with his fingers. The orange blood snarls, the pain in his skull jarring, beating into his temples and he staggers back a little before managing to clear his mind enough to pull out a short lance.

"What- w-what're you DOING? You FUCK!?"

"YOU FUCKER. I never agreed to this! Back off!" Though he knows better... the words come out in a slight panic as he sees the club come at him, swing after swing. His heart's fluttering when his wings should be but their stuck in panic, shivering instead of opening fully. The orangeblood's hands grip the hilt of the short lance tight and he moves, dodging as The Highblood gets nearer and nearer. His mouth is open, agape as he heaves out anxious breaths.

"I'll tell you what it looks like, y-you sick bastard-" He growls, leaping back, forcing his wings open to help glide him a little further away than if his feet just moved him. Suddenly he pulls out a large hunting knife and spins it in his hand, grabbing the blade end instead of the hilt end, his short lance held tight in his opposite hand.

"Look's like you makeup's lacking today!" And he throws the knife hard, aiming for a head shot or even just the clown's neck. He's in a slight panic though, a strife initiated in surprise? Was he really going to start with that here of all places? Damnit.

"Come on princess, give me some COLOR."

It's not his fault, all right? Summoner has people here he cares about, unlike your weird ass. He doesn't want to worry Darkleer too much so he was trying to cut back on all this fighting. He didn't know it would prompt this!

The new weapon's strange, it's... a lot more menacing, more cutting pain, less bruising and broken bones. Suddenly he's a little more confused and scared, his instincts telling him to back out but he-

Damnit, he can't flee. Never.

And suddenly his attention is glued to the larger troll as he screams. It sends a shiver down his spine to hear it, a scream that's not at all just from pain and damnit, that's terrifying. Especially when those snarling, shrieking lips coil into a smile, accompanying a single red glowing eye.

Lysunder gasps, feeling his heart clench as he stares wide eyed, watching blood drip down the larger troll's face. His fingers feel raw as they wring and writhe around the hilt of his lance but it does well to stop him from shivering. Not that his wings don't completely give it away. This is different. This is different. Shit, what, what does he want?!

"Yo-" he doesn't even get a reply in before he's suddenly being stormed at and his legs freeze for a moment. Summoner curses under his breath, flapping his wings as hard as he can to just barely lift him up and land him back. But without the lift of his leg muscles it's hard and he only goes so far. It's enough to wake his lower limbs up though and soon he's pulling out a second small lance, using it to attack at a hand as it comes at him, the other trying to block any secondary attack at his other side.

He wants to cry a name, something, anything, not "Grand Highblood" it'd hardly work here, would only prompt that authority this tyrannical fuck seems to believe he has anymore in this damned place. Lysunder wants a name or title that'd actually call to this freak and try to break him out of this rage but as he opens his mouth while defending he's at a loss for words before finally managing something.

"You're beautiful, gorgeous even, a real gem, but y-you-" His lance hits a hand, slowly and awkwardly being pushed back by the force of those hands.

"YOU, need to stop!"

Yes well he hadn't realized how very pressing that was. It'd be something if he could fight along side lusi, if he could call them to his aid like how he's always fought. Maybe then he could have helped indulge that need for strife. But here, no- there aren't any beasts of fight and fury here, just animals that don't deserve to be used as shields. If anything, Summoner is communing them away, making the forest ever so quiet except their fight. There doesn't need to be unnecessary death of those creatures due to this ridiculous display of violence and he doesn't need guilt weighing down his already panic locked feet.

Summoner wishes he could slice away his fear and panic, he knows the beast is reveling in it, lapping it up like a hungry barkbeast. Even through the macabre waterfall of a mask he can see the glee on that menacing visage and he despises the fact that he can't calm himself down. Maybe hurting his eyes wasn't worth it- it only seems to be making him more feral and enticed by all this.

Accompanying the Highblood's words are light splatters and drops of blood, flying every which way as the flurry of swings and slashes come at him. Summoner doesn't try to avoid them, even as he feels some of the drops hit his face. It's disgusting but invigorating at the same time. His face flares up from the comment and the exertion, heart racing as he continues to parry and block, being backed up more and more as he holds a glistening sneer. He's doing his best to hide his fear and maybe his expression manages to do so, and all the movements makes it seem like his shivering has stopped. A plus, he supposes, but he can't really suppose or think anything else because there's a claw coming down at him and a bladed weapon to follow.

Lysunder backs, but feels claws grind down his chest, tearing his shirt and wrappings easily, pulling at them. He can feel his flesh snap and shred under the pointed claws. Vertical stripes of orange are cleaved all the way down and he cries out, yanking away, feeling his flesh tug as the claws detach from his torso. He manages to block the second attack but it makes him crouch low under the Highblood's stretch, the effort pushing more blood out onto the ground, making him wince as he how body seemed to flare up even hotter.

"Sacri-f-fice-!?" His voice is strained, doing his best to hold his lance up against the baton before pushing hard, enough to give him a space to jerk back, swinging his head hard to smash his uncracked horn against the side of the Grand Highblood's skull. He jerks back fast, stumbling away, breathing hard and gasping as his entire front covers in coppery brown blood.

"What- what are you going about, not this religious bullshit you sanguineous party favor!"

"Yeah, I got that, I'm not an idiot, I know w-what... I know what a sacrifice is." He scowls, breathing deep. Summoner's hands tighten on either hilt of either lance and he closes his eyes for a moment, trying to pull himself together. Well... as much as he can. He's loosing a good amount of blood and he knows every drop is doing wonders for the Highblood, Lysunder can practically hear the other's heart slam into his organ cage.

Ugh, or is that his own. He can't say, he's so damn terrified right now, though he's doing his best to warp that fear into anger.

"And sorry, chucklefuck, I'm not religious." Said with a scowl, bowing his head, but he doesn't keep the brooding expression for long, soon chucking either lance forward at the Highblood fast, aiming for his chest and stomach. Quickly after and pulls out a rather formidable long lance and darts forward, jabbing the weapon to strike after the two previous.

Indigo rituals weren't something rare and unheard of, Summoner knew well enough the kinds of 'sacrifices' made, and he sure as hell knew that those sacrifices didn't want any part of that religious scene either.

The splinter wood doesn't do much to phase him, he expected it, but the sudden tug forward makes his whole body tense. The Highblood yanks him forward so easily with how light he is and it's no time before he feels such terrible pain in his torso. Summoner whole body shakes, jerking forward and curling into himself as he coughs up blood, giving another strained sound of pain to his company before his hands try to fumble away from his lance's hilt and he tries to push back.

But there are fingers curling around him, claws and pads of fingers barely touching his wings before he moves them as fast as he can to try and get them away from the hand grabbing him.

"Ah! Haa, I've never bled for you." He snarls, barely an eye open before he grabs that knife, taking the challenge.

His hand wraps around it, feeling blood make his skin slick and he wrenches it out of the Highblood's skull with a hollow sound popping behind it. He can feel it dislodge and without a second to think, slams it into the back of that hand grabbing him, as deep as it'll go, and then yanks it upwards at an angle- like a lever- hard.

It quickly buckles against a long bone of the Highblood's hand and snaps it with a rather satisfying crack, he can feel his side get bloodied with indigo quickly and his immediately tries to use this to get away if able to, swinging his head again hard to crack his horn against the bastards throbbing skull.

"I bleed for my PEOPLE!"

It'd be a lie to say the feel of his fingers sliding over his back wasn't in some way enjoyable. All the stress put on his back from his wings often led to it being a sensitive area. But the grasping hand wasn't there long enough for that to distract him and the way the Highblood soon screams does well to get his attention.

Yet another lie to say he didn't enjoy those sounds of agony. The sound and sight of that gore on the Highblood's face would make a less experienced Summoner glance away, stomach churning, but here we stares full on, watching the indigoblood's expression contort from not only the pain in his face, but in his hand now as well.

"Heh."

He stumbles back, a kind of lazy few steps with how light headed he's getting now. Lysunder's got a bit of a cocky smirk on his face as he watches the huge troll curl in pain, grabbing near his wounded hand. He gets a rather satisfying shiver seeing the Highblood recoil from the second horn clock to the face, and a more noticeable shiver after that when their eyes lock, both glaring directly at eachother. Summoner'd get so much more from this if he wasn't almost fainting right now, his front a mess and he can feel his insides bulge out near his skin a little from that last pierce into his stomach near his kidney.

"Heh-eh-" A laugh starts but is quickly covered by some rather hoarse coughing, blood splattering from his lips and dripping down his neck. Summoner looks down for a moment, breathing in deep, nostrils flare, he becomes all the more aware of the septum piercing in his nose, how torn his clothing is, how bad his head hurts. There's throbbing everywhere but he can feel a kind of... cold, wrapping around him and his daze is becoming a little more comforting.

"No, I know they're w-waiting for me-" Coughing, hands trembling as they clench at his sides, soon removing a medium sized jointed lance, each joint cone having sharpened points around it at the edges.

"And no way am I gonna let some- some crazy ass flamboyant carnival fare make me think otherwise." The words are harsh as they leave his lips. He can feel blood seeping down his chin and neck, and he can be feels tears bead at his eyes from the pain. But he steadies his gaze at the massive troll infront of him, doing his best to hold the heavy lance's hilt even with how much his arm is shaking.

Their wounds definitely have a contrast. While The Grand Highblood's look more agonizing, Summoner's are far more fatal. He doesn't seem to recognize that himself though, going through- either- a bout of denial, or a just plain avoidance of how he really feels. The pain should be a lot more than he feels right now, but it's all rather... relaxing, or getting there. Maybe his wounds aren't really that ...bad?

Well he wouldn't even think that if he could see himself. The amount of blood loss will lead to a slow death if he's not patched up soon, but there's no running. Not that he could really run far in his condition. If he really had the mind to he could commune with Dural and perhaps get Darkleer's help but-

No. No running. He'll be a stubborn fool before he absconds.

"Sleep at night, careful seems like this place is changin' y-ya more than you expecting, heh-" Another cough, pulling up his free hand to hold it infront of his mouth. He gives a dazed expressing to the blood he coughed up on the binding at the back of that hand before looking back to the indigoblood.

"Yeah I-" he starts, swaying back a steps. His wings open again, balancing him and most of him is rather aware how stupid it will be to attack again but he still does- and with more force than one might expect with how hazy everything is for him.

His whole body moves forward, extending the land with a hard shove to wards the Highblood troll. He doesn't falter at all, a shot as good as any before this point, but once his arm is extended it's full length he feel a sudden jolt of pain and he cringes a little, snarling with his eyes squinting.

The force of his lance through tense muscle and bone probably helps him with that falter afterwards, making his body shake in pain, lance hitting something hard and vibrating all the way through him. Summoner can hear his heart beating, he can feel ever drop leaking from him, ever torn tendons and vein pulsing and screaming at him and his hand weakly loosens from the lance now embedded in the troll's arm.

"Ah-!" His head jerks, neck muscles tensing and eyes squinting tightly closed, all in reaction to that bloody fist coming around his horn. He can hear it crack too, he can feel it crack. It throbs terribly at his scalp, sending an ominous tempo of heart beats into his ear drums, it feels like they're going to burst from out loud it is.

"Neeagh...Fuck-" Is barely all he can manage, a pained gasp as his hands coming shakily up near the Highblood's hand and his horn, wings slide back behind him like a purrbeast's ear when it's threatened.

His head bows, shaking a little, feeling a chill run through him before more pain shoots through his body from the grasp on his horn. The touching of his wings is hard to notice until that pain stops, his head throbbing.

The 'shh'ing of the Highblood's voice is barely even heard at first and then suddenly he can hear again, slowly, but it feels like he is listening through something, like water, and soon the words hit him and his eyebrows furrow.

The Summoner's eyes focus on the other's chest first, slowly looking around blood splattered armor and hair. Eventually he finds his face, and by the time he does he feels like he could just close his eyes and stop seeing all together.

"Ahhh- haa..." But really that's too much to ask because now he's gasping, hands moving up to grab at the wrist of the hand on his waist. The feeling of fingers rubbing against his back and massaging the tension there is more welcomed than he'd normally let on. He's too faded to fight it and too tired to react negatively, besides, it feels too good in contrast to his other wounds that he just shudders and bows his head, jaw dropping.

"S-stop-" He finally heaves, his grip tightening, but still weak. His eyebrows furrow again and his wings flutter lazily behind him, shifting various muscles on his back. Summoner's claws sink into skin, but it takes a lot more effort than normal, and he already has to stop and cough up a little more blood, trying not to thinking about-

-well-

-pretty much everything happening right now.

"NNnah... ha-" More heavy breathing, his eyes flicking open just for a moment before closing again, head pulling back, neck craning. His wings continue to move softly, resting for longer and longer moments in between. There's a warmth coming over him and it makes him want to somehow get even closer to the other figure, like it's coming from him. The oddly comforting touching on his back being both a blessing and a curse.

Eventually his head bows again, twitching at the cool temperature of face paint and slowly drying blood as it presses against his cheek and gasping lightly when air is breathed over his ear. Another arch of his back, shoulders relaxing- and then the next words are heard.

It takes a moment to register what is actually behind said here and he glances down and to the side before his body tenses and he lets out a scared sound. It's short, panicked, and his grip clenches on the Highblood's wrist again.

"No-" He starts, his wings opening, and suddenly his whole body is jerking. It hurts, ugh, everything hurts when he moves. He can feel more blood leak from his wounds as he really starts to push and tug and yank. His legs kick, they feel so heavy and his teeth weakly manage to snarl as he furiously tries to get out of that grip. He was going to die, he- he knew that. He could feel it by now, how he was slipping. But the sudden fear of having his wings torn from his body sparked something in him and he's quickly trying to fight his way free.

"No! NO- LET GO!" He shrieks, the flurry of birds winding up from the trees all around them and not too far from their small clearing. They're loud and furious, just as Summoner's cries are as he tries to get out of that grip, his wings fluttering madly behind him.

He can't help how frantic he is but just, his wings- his wings. Something about losing them makes him flare up something atrocious. And this isn't anything like when he was molting, that was natural, it felt strange and it was terrifying, but... but this is something else entirely.

Lysunder's voice shudders, straining as the Grand Highblood's other hand grips him. The lack of weight on his horn makes it a little easier on his think pan but everything is still so hazy and painful as he thrashing and shoves.

"Nngh- ah, shove y-your bullshit shooshing up y-your nook-" He growls, feeling a shiver run through him from that small bite on his ear. All these mixed messages are making him so confused, but he knows he needs to get out, needs to get away. He has before.

"Ahh, ahh no no-!" His voice is a little higher pitched as he whines, feeling his eyes push, tears starting to stream down his face when he feels claw sink into his back. The Summoner takes the other's words and breathes in deep, preparing himself-

or well, trying to.

But nothing could prepare him for that pain.

Sharp point skin into his back, he can feel skin splitting and snapping, muscles getting severed and balling up at connection points. The orangeblood screams, his head raising, his vision blurring as he stares wide eyed into the sky. His hands clench, sinking his claws into the idly hand still gripping him, grinding and pulling as skin as he writhes in agonizing pain. More screaming, feeling veins and connecting strands of flesh yank and pull, tearing from his back as the huge troll slowly uproots his wings. He can't even form coherent words as his body shakes from the act and slowly his wings stop to move on their own. He still... feels like he's flapping them, the ghost sense continuing as he pants and strains.

"A-ah... ha- bastard." He's sweating terribly, bleeding from not only his front, but his back as well. The skin is stripped around his mid back and shoulder blades, the pale coloured bones seen underneath blood as it continues to gush from severed muscles and other tissue. He can't stop shaking and his body slumps, eyes barely open, sight fading getting darker by the second.

Summoner's barely conscious enough to catch how inappropriate Grand Highblood's reactions are but he does enough to snarl a little, feeling the huge body rub against him in a way that only seems to hurt an extreme amount. The friction can't nearly be as welcoming as it should be, not with how much pain he's in. His claws- still lodged into the Highblood's wrist- clench just slightly, and slowly he breaks communes off, unable to concentrate enough to keep them.

"-never-" He gasps, his nose scrunching a little. 'Mine'. Hell no. He doesn't belong to anyone, no one does, that's bullshit. And he wouldn't agree to it, even as he slumps in the other's grasp, fading into darkness.

Lysunder twitches, feeling the last bit of skin pull from his back and the wing is completely severed. He still feels like he can... move it. The other one doesn't seem to move at all, except various pained shivering and twitches here and there. His body follows suit with that twitching as he's moved but really, he's pretty much a rag doll at this point, barely able to his head let alone a hand or foot.

Soon his face is pressed against a shoulder and he's gazing at what appears to be... a chest, or, neck. He's not sure. All he does know is there's a sea of black hair around his face and it's cool to touch. He's comforted by it, closing his eyes and just feeling it press against his hot face, the familiar feel of long hair immediately bringing to mind one person in particular and he furrows his brows thinking of him.

"-Ah- Darkleer." In his daze he's not completely out of it to think this monster beneath him is that person, but that person is certainly in his thoughts right now after he whispers the name, body still, breathing heavy, his heart starting to really slow down. Summoner can't even feel the touching at his back any more, just staying slumping forward, his eyes barely open and slowly growing dimmer.

Why wouldn't he be? His fight is still there... even with the flame so small, it barely can empower his hands to move though strangling this ass hole is such a wonderful thought. And yet he feels rather comforted laying here with his thoughts. If he must fade, he'd prefer it be with those he loves in his mind instead of those he hates.

"Ah..." A slight twitch, moving his head against that nuzzling. It's a pleasurable contrast, sending weak chills through him from the base of his horn and he pulls a hand up weakly, setting his palm on the Highblood's chest. The larger trolls words stir something in him and his eyes manage to open a little more, glancing over at the Highblood and slowly glaring.

He feels more moving and he suddenly realizes he- he can't see anything. but he feels his eyelids are open. Maybe he can see ...splotches, shadows, here and there. But it got rather dark and he can hear closer breathing. The broken up word is heard and Lysunder breathes deep, his hands going a little limp.

"Gia-" He starts, though it's extremely quiet, and the next parts make not a single sound but his lips form the sounds before going still.

Before everything goes still, and his eyes grow dim.
